An enhancement to graphical user interface software adds training and customization features that allow users to select between levels of interface sophistication according to skill level. While pull-down menu functions and toolbar functions are commonly presented independently, the List-Bar interface control allows a user to present a menu and a toolbar together, including positional cues to further speed user familiarization with the toolbar's symbolic abstraction of menu terminology. A novice or occasional user can choose to use a menu alone, while an expert may prefer a toolbar alone. For a progressing user, having both modes displayed, active, and positioned in parallel can speed and reinforce learning. In addition to allowing direct arrow-key-class, mouse-class, and stylus-class pointing and selection tools, List-Bar interface control further directly supports touchscreen- controlled user interface, for which variable and generally more widely spaced selection element presentation on the display is accommodated.
